The surgery requests that people continue to wear masks when they come to the medical centre, and observe social distancing as appropriate.

There has also been a serious of incidents when patients have been rude and unpleasant to the staff, causing 2 members of staff to resign. Please remember they are as concerned as you and are only trying to do their job. It costs nothing to be polite, so please be kind and respect their position.
